I don't mean to sound callous (alright, yes I do), but Noddy coming out in Byker Grove was handled much better than this, and didn't have to be shown after the watershed. Coming out trauma? We're way past that.

We're way past that. a lot of people aren't I suspect. But yes, it's not the best is it? Not that my expections for the storyline were anything else. Hollyoaks is doing it so much better with JP.

Now that's something I never thought I'd hear.
Even worse than the gay Tinhead thing is Tanktop falling in love with a child.

Tanktop's face makes me feel ill.
Gay Tinhead is such a bad storyline. Seriously, he's what, 26? And lives in Liverpool. Oh gosh, however does the buff young man in the really big city in the year 2006 ever cope with Being A Gay?

Can I just enquire whether Adam did in fact commit public indecency, since he was totally fully clothed and slightly pulled down the trouser zip of the other bloke...
"I never assaulted you" "I think you did" <-- homophobic police officer.

Who died? Lisa or Ben? I don't really care but we can't risk the Hunters ever appearing in Hollyoaks-proper again.

Ben.
We don't know that he's dead but we did have that standarad stringly blood flalying out of his mouth to demonstrate the end was nigh.
Will anyone mention it over on l'Oaks? Surely Jake would be told

Josh's yellow t-shirt is available in the Topman concession in Clery's on O'Connell Street for €21, Junky. They had a couple left in Jervis too.

for someone who was weeping about not wanting to be gay and how awful the rest of his life would be Adam sure did throw himself into it 15 minutes later. I thought that, too. Although I must say I quite enjoyed him taking his shirt off. It should have gone further frankly. The whole episode was quite apocalyptic really and left me wondering if the North West is really like that?

I don't even know where to start with this, but I did shriek when poor Ben got it in the gut.
As for gay Tinhead, well after being in denial for 20 something years and crying his heart out, twenty minutes later he was off his face on E, shirt off and licking the face of a male model, whilst telling his little mate to fuck off. This is exactly what happened to me when I came out!
But neither he nor his schoolboy mate can dance, so they're obviously not proper gays yet.
- Couldn't give a shit about Polly and her baby-napping
- I know Hollyoaks storylines can be a bit far-fetched but Lisa Hunter in a snuff film must be up there somewhere.
- Quote of the night came from Tinhead: "Josh, show me you world."
But best of all: KAVANA WAS IN IT. OMG !!11!!1

I'm from Manchester, and can confirm that, yes, the North West really is like that.

Where was Kavana?
I'm not really arsed about Polly's death, her and ben's storyline was really dull. It went utterly into Queer As Folk land - I wonder if the writer was a prodigy of RTD when they were both at Corrie.

Kavana was Stella's right hand man who gave her the car.
Oh yes, I forgot about dead Polly. Says it all really doesn't it

Well wasn't Daran Little (of Coronation Street fame - and did he leave that for THIS?) one of the main writers of this? I think he did indeed work with/for RtD before (I'm sure someone will prove me wrong on that). No Doctor Who commission for him just yet (I hope).
I can't help thinking that if there was a little more QAFland and a lot less of everyone else, the series might have been recommissioned.

Post by trixie on Dec 19, 2006 13:55:49 GMT
I don't know why he left but it went so absurdly QaFish that I hope RTD was looking down proudly.
Now what we need is an Adam/Josh spinoff or at least some of them to just happen to move to Hollyoaks proper

I want Burton to run The Loft.
Also, if they could organise Swimbint to be the next snuff star, I would appreciate it.
JP could join Adam and Josh and make sweet.........I'll stop there.

I'm still watching it on C4 so I'm disregarding all the other posts. I still don't get why Adam's being such an idiot about Josh. I mean, all that happened was a kiss. It's not like they shagged or anything. If he was honest with the police things would have been much easier for him! Adam's acting like the 16 year old.

Having watched since nearly the start of the series, I was surprised at just how fantastically ridiculous it got for the finale. Plot-lines appeared from nowhere (snuff movie, the sister-abduction thing) and everything just falling apart for everyone else.
And what happened to the music? Every time a little drama was required, cue a dramatic bit of music, without any subtlety. We just ended up laughing throughout.

Muinimula - I've been doing the same. Utterly, utterly bonkers. What a ridiculous and unsatisfying ending! Did they know they weren't getting recommissioned by the time they'd filmed all the episodes?

Sadly I missed this bizarre-sounding conclusion. Can anyone fill me in on what happened? How did Ben die? Was he in this snuff film that's been talked about? Did Adam get together with Josh?

Dear Skillex, It got revealled that Claire King's character got most of her money from supplying wealthy businessmen women who they could then rape, torture and kill. Lisa got 'chosen' by them and was thus escorted to a warehouse where she was tied to a bed. Claire King then left Ben at her house while she went off to apologise to (and perhaps try to save) Lisa. Burton then visited Claire's house and warned Ben, Ben took off and found the warehouse quickly and called the police.
He burst in just as Claire freed Lisa. Lisa had grabbed a gun and was waving it about. Burton arrived and got punched. Ben suprised Lisa enough for the gun to go off in her hand and shoot Ben. He then bled from the gut and mouth. The police arrived very promptly thereafter.
Adam had a big old tear-fest with his wife before heading out to be in Queer As Folk with Josh, who had been watching through his window for half the episode. Adam apologised to Josh for kissing him and being a wanker in previous episodes then kissed him in an alley way. He then asked him to 'show me your world'.
They ended up at a busy gay club where Adam gave Josh the brush off for a hottie nearer his own age. Josh ran off (back to outside Adam's flat) while the two guys danced with their tops off and snogged each other's faces off.
It was also revealed that Polly was not her sister's sister. Thanks to some abusive care workers and a dodgy deal she made to protect the younger girl, Polly had more or less abducted her. The girl's mother found them and prompted the confession. The girl headed off to see Tanktop but met Josh crying outside his flat. Polly tried to call Ben but as he was busy saving Lisa she overdosed instead.
Tanktop nearly kissed Adam's wife but instead backed off as he loved someone else, I'm guess he meant the 16yo. The Australian got pissed of because the gay porn film Burton made him do was google-able on the internet and his brother in Oz had found it. He messed Burton's face up early in the show leaving Burton looking like Mickey Rourke and finished things with Precious by tearing down all her pictures of him. Yours Sincerly, Rasperry
